The Brasher Hillwalker is a thinner synthetic sock for lighter walking or for those who don’t like the thicker feel of wool. UK-made from Coolmax polyester and nylon, they aren’t as odour-resistant as wool equivalents and can feel on the warm side, but they’re not bad in either respect – especially given the price, which is pretty good for a fairly durable sock that’s more than cut out for 2-3 season hillwalking.
